Hello there guys. I know probabily I shouldn't bother you with such questions but only have money for 1 thing alias "one shot one kill" and have to choose one of them without making mistakes: here in Italy you don't get to sell things easily nor replaced.....So, anyone can tell me what the best solution for FS9 considering that I have:AMD athlon 2000 mhz512 mb ram (pc2700)Maxtor UATA hard drive 80 GB 7200 rpmI know that they house different chipset but I'm counting on your experience to the final choicebestsMichael, Italy

Either is good, however I would personally go with the 9800.MikeP4 2.4C @3.44 285FSBAsus P4C800 Deluxe1gb Corsair XMS PC3500 Asus V9950 FX5900 Ultra 256mb 500/950SB Audigy2 Platinum ExWatercooled baby!!!Pics: http://community.webshots.com/user/chksix2002

Thanks Mike but the "se" suffix means it's a subcategory or what?Have you had experience with the 9800se chipset? I believe it's different from the 9800 one!bests againMichael, Italy

It is different that the normal 9800 and was intended only for the Asian market. Here is a little info on the 9800SE. Let me know if you need anything else.http://www.overclockers.co.nz/ocnz/review....colr9800se00205MikeP4 2.4C @3.44 285FSBAsus P4C800 Deluxe1gb Corsair XMS PC3500 Asus V9950 FX5900 Ultra 256mb 500/950SB Audigy2 Platinum ExWatercooled baby!!!Pics: http://community.webshots.com/user/chksix2002

Thanks Mike, I'll read it and see....Michael, Italy

Hi again, Mike...I read the article you send me the post for. Well, it is said that either you overclocked it or forget it. Besides they said that not every 9800se can be overclocked....So the card as it is sold doesn't work too good on benchmark but they never try FS9 or else. So I guess that I have to rely on people having that card and telling me how it is working on their end.....bests, Michael

Anytime Mike. Or just get the 5700 Ultra. There are plenty of reviews of it as well as people here on the forums that use it in FS9.Good Luck,MikeP4 2.4C @3.44 285FSBAsus P4C800 Deluxe1gb Corsair XMS PC3500 Asus V9950 FX5900 Ultra 256mb 500/950SB Audigy2 Platinum ExWatercooled baby!!!Pics: http://community.webshots.com/user/chksix2002
